1999 Regal GS Turbo failure...



Re: 1999 Regal GS Turbo

Debating grabbing a set of fronts and throwing them on the rear that way, I'll still have a good amount of strut travel and I'll still be able to keep the rears lowered. I think these billsteins are just to worn ride quality isn't the greatest
 
Re: 1999 Regal GS Turbo

I didnt install the coilovers yet. I did install my racetronix 255 and rewire though. I also discovered a nasty looking oil leak under the passenger side. It appears to be a oil pan leak. Im losing a quart every couple days or so. Thats my fun chore for tomorrow.
 
Re: 1999 Regal GS Turbo

unplug the neon green connector and look for oil to drip out of the terminals/sensor.

I finally decided to delete the TR's OE sensor after having a few more of them damned things fail around me.

too scary. 1/4" npt plug it.

though im willing to say ill be getting an adjustable hobbs switch at some point so it can be set at a couple psi below what hot idle is....instead of "its already ****ed" Oem sensor
 


Re: 1999 Regal GS Turbo

mine was plugged off 5 years ago. 3 failures and you learn a lesson for sure.

now i got a o/p gauge hooked up to it.

So i can just plug it with no ill effects?
 
Re: 1999 Regal GS Turbo

I was thinking that without signal from the oil pressure sensor, it wouldnt start. If that isnt true, what am i thinking of?
 


Re: 1999 Regal GS Turbo

I was thinking of my old car. When the oil pressure sensor went out, the car wouldnt start because it thought there was no oil pressure. Looks like ill either be using a tube of black rtv or a brass fitting tomorrow.
 
Re: 1999 Regal GS Turbo

That reminds me. I have my turbo kit complete now. I went to ZZP friday and got the TOG DP and m90 block off along with the brass fittings for the oil feed and return. I also bought the 3-5 wire MAF harness.
